yeah i got more records than a KGB...so uh no funny business

Well I'm sure most of you heard that M.I.A. is retiring, going on hiatus, or whatever you may call it. If you didn't now you do! Supposedly she isn't going to do anymore live shows, but she will still make albums. Personally I was devastated by the news because I have yet to see M.I.A. live and now I probably never will! I've heard different things about different shows. Some say she performs good, and others say she sucks. I even heard that she was drunk at a few shows...idk. I still love her music because she has hot beats and they're fun to dance to. It's creative and uses different sounds for beats that I never even thought you could. Like the seal noises in "Boyz" on her latest album Kala. Some of her music/lyrics are influenced by older stuff, but who's isn't? I don't know if you are familiar with a website called Hipster Runoff, but I stumbled across a blog from July 19th on her "retirement". You should read it...there were some pretty interesting comments left on there. lol

Well anywhoo I still say she's awesome no matter what anyone else says. What do you guys think? Ohhhh and how about that other chick Santogold?? A lot of people say that she's trying to bite M.I.A.'s style, or be like her. I don't think her music sounds anything like M.I.A. and their styles are kinda different....idk. Here's the link to the blog from the Hipster Runoff: http://www.hipsterrunoff.com/2008/06/hro-commenters-remember-mia-god-bless.html
